46 Hi everybody

48 Turns out two things was screwed up:
49
50 1) The rights was not set properly and ./bin/check_perms fixed that
51 2) mailman ignores my configuration in /etc/mailman/mm_cfg.py and
52 instead uses /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py
53
54 I don't know why these things have occurred all of sudden, but as I
55 regularly update with emerge -vauDN and haven't "used" any of the
56 mailman tools for a long while, changes could have sneaked in that I
57 just notice now.
58 The original lists I added half a year ago have been unaffected by my
59 problems, so it appears to only concern the admin tools.
